C++ Program to Print ASCII Value of a Character

In the previous article, we have discussed about C++ Program to Find GCD. Let us learn how to Print ASCII Value of a Character in C++ Program.

Program to Print ASCII Value of a Character in C++

In this article, we will write a program of how we can print the ASCII value of a character in c++ language.

• Using typecasting

First of all, let see what an ASCII value is.ASCII is the acronym for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a code for representing 128 English characters as numbers, with each letter assigned a number from 0 to 127. For example, the ASCII code for uppercase M is 77.

Method 1-Using typecasting

This is the approach for getting the ASCII value of a character. When we typecasting string into int then we get the ASCII value of that character. Let’s write the code for this.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char c = 'a';
    cout << "The ASCII value of " << c << " is " << int(c);
    return 0;
}

Output

The ASCII value of a is 97

By this method, we can get the ASCII value of any character.
